Product description

We depart at 10:30 from Söderköping, with our K-marked ship built in 1915. Viktoria steams out through Söderköping down to our first lock Tegelbruket with a drop of 2.3 metres. After Tegelbruket we have 20 minutes until we are in beautiful Mem with its single lock, drop height of three metres. It was the last lock built in the great canal project. Once down on Slätbaken, we have an hour's archipelago trip to Stegeborg Castle ruins.

On the journey, you can order lunch or just have a coffee and prawn sandwich. Our kitchen is open throughout the trip and this year we have a game menu but also other options such as fish, vegetarian and children's menu.

Stegeborg was one of Sweden's most important strongholds during the Middle Ages and a royal castle until the 17th century. The most powerful families of the time met in bloody battles or tough negotiations at the castle. In the 16th century, the castle was expanded into a magnificent Renaissance castle by King Johan III and was a royal residence until 1689. Today, the castle is surrounded by a beautiful park with a herb garden.
